2023 was a massive year in the Jan. 6 probe. 2024 will be even bigger.

WASHINGTON — Three years after a right-wing mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election, the federal government has secured hundreds of convictions on charges ranging from unlawful picketing to seditious conspiracy.

Now, in a year shaping up to be one of the most consequential in American politics, prosecutors are preparing for the trial of the biggest Jan. 6 defendant of them all: former President Donald Trump. Trump is currently set to go on trial as soon as March in the election interference case brought by special counsel Jack Smith; he has pleaded not guilty.

The third year of the sprawling investigation into the Jan. 6 attack — the largest criminal probe in Justice Department history — saw some major achievements for federal prosecutors and the FBI as hundreds of cases made their way through the court system, even as hundreds of additional rioters remain at large, with just two years left to bring charges before the statute of limitations expires.

Looming over all of the Jan. 6 criminal cases — more than 1,200 of them — is the potential of a Trump presidency. Trump has promised to pardon “a large portion” of the rioters “very early on” if he wins in 2024. After spreading lies about the 2020 election in the lead-up to Jan. 6, Trump is now making false claims about the events of that day, proclaiming on the eve of the third anniversary that the attack was “antifa” and the “FBI” was “leading the charge” on Jan. 6. (There is zero evidence to support Trump’s claim, and many of the rioters who far-right figures have alleged were antifa or undercover federal agents were subsequently arrested and revealed to be Trump supporters.)

I’m seeing Twitter what I think is a big backlash against the J6 insurrection narrative.

Maybe the tide is turning.

And the far-left’s insurrectumy continues. It’s like the covid kung flu. It isn’t going away. EVER! I’m surprised that most of the jackass left can’t remember the Boston Tea Party and aren’t still whining about it. I guess that’s what happens when you surrender your city to racist China men females.

The protestors were in the Capitol and they did nothing to overturn the election, nor could they.

They made one mistake, they didn’t accept that breaking the law is only for democrats.

Why can’t we put Kamala Harris on trial for inciting the real insurrection that Summer?

seditious conspiracy

Isn't that what the vast majority of presstitutes in America engaged in, in the Russian Collusion scam?

Funny how Trump is accused of “insurrection” in the media where it is seized upon in Colorado, Maine and Illinois to deny him a place on the ballot yet no one anywhere has been officially charged with “insurrection”.

Three years after patriotic supporters protested at the U.S. Capitol in an effort to delay the certification of an election where millions of ballots were cast unlawfully, affecting the outcome and disenfranchising 10’s of millions of American citizens.

Is how this article SHOULD have started!

I would like to see four things.

One, an itemized list of the damage to property on J6.

Two, a list of the actual property or human injury crimes and who did them.

Three, a list of the weapons involved in the riot.

Four, a digital interactive map of the people charged and their movements on J6.

“They made one mistake, they didn’t accept that breaking the law is only for democrats.”

And that going to prison for insurrection when strolling through the capitol building is only for non-democrats.

I daren’t say Republicans because many, many, many Republicans are part of the problem and would find some immunity because of their obeisance to the Ruling Class narrative. As long as one is part of the problem, some immunity rubs off on you.

“Big deal what another 200 cities burned by democrats?”


But this was an attack on the ‘sacred’ Capitol and ‘our democracy’. The burnt cites were the mostly peaceful expressions of oppressed peoples’ rage. Surely you can see that.
